WATER FILTERS

Almost 80% of the sicknesses in the region Uttarakhand are caused by polluted drinking water. The main reasons are defecating in the open by animals and humans, fertilizations of agricultural land, no sewage and garbage system. The drinking water problem is one of the most important points on the agenda of our local partners, because of the direct effect it has on human health. They apply a Slow Sand Filter (SSF) technique to purify the water. The SSF technique is simple, trustworthy and not expansive.

ROOFTOP WATERTANKS

These rainwater collection tanks can be placed at houses and buildings (schools) with flat roofs. Rainwater is collected via the roofs and channeled to a water tank. In this rainwater collection tank the water is filtered naturally with sand and stones. The water is used as drinking water and for irrigation. Himalaya Resources has already contributed to the construction of dozens of water tanks.

RUNNING PROJECTS

Wilde Ganzen gaat weer een samenwerkingsverband aan met UJJS en Himalaya Resources voor het project: ‘Herstel van bronnen en traditionele zaden vanuit de dorpen Than en Bidon’. Voldoende water is van cruciaal belang voor goede opbrengsten in de landbouw. Maar ook het type zaden maakt een wezenlijk verschil. Traditionele zaden zijn voedzamer dan de nu gangbare zaden en beter bestand tegen de grillige weersomstandigheden als gevolg van klimaatverandering.

With your donation we can, together with our local partners, carry out projects that have a big impact on the population in the remote villages in the Indian Himalayas. We realize water filters (in a natural way), roof top water tanks that collect the rainwater, the construction of water reservoirs, the planting of cuttings for new deciduous trees that can hold the water around the springs, recovery of neglected sources, educational projects at schools about the water problem so that the knowledge gained is not lost. Your contribution is very welcome!
